10 Last-Minute Gift Ideas for DIYers

Got a loved one who is a DIYer? It can be hard to find a gift for someone who seems to have every tool in existance. Never fear, we’ve got your back! Here’s a list of 10 great gifts for DIYers.

1. Step Ladder

A must-have gift for any DIYer is a step ladder. It's like a regular ladder, but shorter. With this, they’ll be able to reach for things without having to pile stuff on top of a chair first. Much safer, and easily folds for stowing away.

2. Smart Light Bulbs

These light bulbs are perfect for the DIYer who also loves their smart home system. They’re quick to install, and they’ll work right away (unlike some of the more ambitious DIY projects). They can pair it with an Alexa or other similar device, so when their hands are busy on projects, then can simply tell Alexa to turn the lights on or off.

3. Tool Organizer

Every DIYer needs a way to stay organized. Otherwise, their projects will quickly take over the entire house. There are plenty of organizers out there, including a full tool bench with drawers, a peg board they can hang on the wall, or smaller totes that keep smaller items separated.

4. Folding Work Table and Sawhorse

A work table is a staple for any DIYer, but they can take up a lot of space. This worktable folds down for easy storage, so it won’t take over the entire garage. These are handy for anyone who is cutting, sanding, or other project.

5. Electric Sander

Sanding by hand takes hours and hours. If your DIYer doesn’t already own one, make sure to get them an electric sander to speed up the process. If they already have a sander, find out which one and get them an additional battery and sandpaper.

6. Work Gloves

Protective clothing is important when working with the harsh chemicals and heavy tools needed for some DIY projects. Every DIYer needs at least one pair of protective gloves especially made for all the projects they have going. A good pair of work gloves can protect them from splinters and other things that could damage their hands.

7. Smart Light Dimmer Switch

A dimmer switch makes a perfect gift pairing with the smart light bulbs. A quick DIY project with really cool results, your DIY friends will love this combination so they can get just the right lighting for their project.

8. Outdoor Heater

Working outside in the cold can be exhausting and uncomfortable. Warm your DIYer’s heart (and hands) this Christmas with an outdoor heater, so they can keep working on projects all through the winter months.

9. Airless Paint Sprayer

Painting can get stinky and messy. Help your DIYer to cut down on the hassle of painting their projects with this airless paint sprayer! They've probably been wanting one for a while, anyway.

10. Cove Home Security System

With quick-and-easy DIY installation, and a design that will protect all their tools and projects, a Cove security system is a great holiday gift option for your DIY friends and family. All the DIYer needs to do is open the box, plug in the control panel, and follow the prompts to install cameras and sensor. Takes less than thirty minutes.
